Food exclusive: Tomato salad with nectarines and feta - Daily Mail

Each summer holiday in France during my childhood, the same classic tomato salad seemed to be found wherever we went – whether it was to a roadside café or on the table of a family meal in the countryside: ripe, juicy, bright red tomatoes, roughly sliced and scattered flat over a plain white plate, covered in equally roughly cut red onions and dressed with astringent red wine vinegar, olive oil, salt and finished with a big handful of chopped parsley. I love this salad for its simplicity and rusticity but sometimes one wants something a little more or something just one step on. Nectarines are normally found in the markets at the same time as tomatoes, and I am a great fan of fruits in salads. Crumble feta or ricotta over this salad, and then scatter with blossoms such as nasturtium, rocket flowers or marigold petals – whatever you are lucky enough to have in your garden. Cut them in slices or wedges and scatter them over a flat serving dish. Slice the nectarines from the stone in wedges and place them in and around the tomatoes. Cut the red onion in half and then in paper-thin slices across, making half rings. Sprinkle this on top and add shavings of feta or crumbled ricotta. Source: www.dailymail.co.uk

Is solving a murder the quickest way to join the MCC? asks EPHRAIM ... - Daily Mail

BBC One’s New Tricks detective show featured an episode this week that was filmed at Lord’s, home of the exclusive Marylebone Cricket Club. They filmed in the hallowed Long Room and even more sacred Writing Room. New Tricks’ Deputy Assistant Commissioner Robert Strickland (played by Anthony Calf) has his team of veteran cops investigate the death of a young cricketer and in return receives membership of the MCC. Real members and aspirants will be amused. Waiting time for membership is 27 years. Ex-Palace butler Paul Burrell surfaces, on Channel 5’s Big Brother, surrounded by unknown, unlovely so-called celebrities, on the 18th anniversary of the death of his late employer the Princess of Wales. Diana lobbied the Queen to give an honour to Burrell after his 20 years of service. He got a Royal Victorian Medal two months after her death but not membership of the Order itself. Ex-ministers Jack Straw (Labour) and Malcolm Rifkind (Tory) were omitted after becoming mired in lobbying allegations. Other potential honorees who were blameless missed out on ermine, such as Labour’s ex-minister Frank Dobson and Tory backbench veteran Sir Peter Tapsell, who retired after 54 years in the Commons. They’re well out of it, considering the torrent of contempt now directed at the ennobled. How will David Cameron deal with Labour’s Jeremy Corbyn if the latter becomes leader of Her Majesty’s Opposition, as expected. Unlike his predecessor, Ed Miliband, Corbyn wasn’t pushed into power by elite Labour connections. Nor is he Oxford-educated, like Cameron and Miliband, but ex-grammar school and North London Poly. Patronising Corbyn might make the Prime Minister look and sound even more like the elitist bully his enemies imagine him to be. Why not kill him off with kindness, remarking affably on what they have in common: Both were under-estimated by leadership rivals. Source: www.dailymail.co.uk

Being treasurer a 'privilege': Morrison - Daily Mail

Scott Morrison says he will consult widely in coming weeks as he puts together his first mid-year budget review and responds to a series of reviews, including the tax white paper. In his first statement after being sworn in as treasurer on Monday, Mr Morrison said the Turnbull government would aim to provide economic opportunity and security for Australian families. It is also his ambition to drive the confidence necessary for growth. "Central to this confidence is jobs," he said. Mr Morrison said it was the government's duty to taxpayers to manage the nation's public finances, while continuing to steadily reduce the budget deficit and the debt burden. "It is a great privilege and exciting responsibility to be taking on the role of treasurer and I thank the prime minister for putting his confidence in me," the former social services minister said. Mr Morrison acknowledged the work and dedication of his predecessor Joe Hockey, and particularly Mr Hockey's leadership during Australia's presidency of the G20 in 2014. The former treasurer's legacy was "strong and worthy", he said, and represented a turning point in the nation's finances. In his last act as treasurer, Mr Hockey released the final budget outcome for the 2014/15 financial year, which recorded a deficit of $37. 9 billion - a $3. 3 billion improvement compared with the estimate at the time of the 2015/16 budget release in May.
